I remembered something the other day, back when I was a kid, the most unscrupulous car places would have the guys spray down the cold engines with something like lacquer thinner to cut all the grease off, let it all dry, and then spray the entire engine with an appropriate engine color - orange for Chevrolet, blue for Ford, etc...

I am sure glad we dont have to do anything like that any longer...

I remember back in the day using easy off oven cleaner

Looks great Barry.

Now all you have to do after every wash is wipe it down and it should never get dirty like that again.

Top Notch Job Barry :wizard:

I also use Purple Power as my primary degreaser. Yes, 50/50 IMPO is just as effective as full strenght which is great. $3 a gallon is impossible to beat :soldier:

Thanks Flash.

You really can't beat the value of PP.

That looks awesome now Barry!

Thanks for the kind words.

Looks great Barry.

Thanks Nick.
That will now be part of my regular wash process.

Looks great indeed. :thumbup:

Thank you sir!

I usually wash the front end of the car with alot of soapy stuff and leave it on to help "protect" the finish while I spray the thing with the chemical.

That's a great tip and makes a lot of sense, thanks!
